I picked up a preban G19 mag (DF/gen2). Tried to run some federal through it in my 26 (with a grip adapter). After a few rounds the slide locked open. Then again...again. ergh.
So I figured it's old...weak mag spring. I got a new spring and follower (eh, had it apart anyway). The old spring was nice and brown (bleck), and under no compression did not expand any near as much as the new spring.
Took it to the range last night, same thing
Now I haven't tried it in a 19 (didn't have it with me). Not sure if it would have mattered.
Any thoughts on what else I could check? Really thought it was just a weak/worn out mag spring.
